Strymon Volante Magnetic Echo Machine Pedal

Step into a sonic time machine where vintage delay tones create an instant retrofuture atmosphere that ignites your musical imagination. The Volante brings together three distinct magnetic delay types alongside spring reverb and looping capabilities, all designed to radically enhance your pedalboard’s sonic expressiveness. This stereo multi-head delay system features magnetic drum echo, tape echo, and reel-to-reel studio echo, offering powerful sound-sculpting controls that unlock limitless creative possibilities.

At the heart of Volante’s design lies meticulous attention to recreating every nuance of classic tape and drum echo machines. From the natural saturation and soft clipping of magnetic media when pushed hard, to hands-on real-time controls for mechanics, wear, head-spacing, and low cut filtering, this pedal instantly infuses your sound with authentic vintage character and warmth.

The control surface centres around four delay playback heads, each with individual feedback, panning, and level controls that put unlimited creative options directly at your fingertips. This comprehensive range allows you to craft complex rhythmic patterns as well as atmospheric, reverb-like textures. Every sonic aspect of the most sought-after vintage drum echo units has been faithfully reproduced, from the harmonically rich tube saturation found in the input buffer, signal mixer, record and playback amplifiers, through to the tone shaping and output mixing circuits.
